fiber optic bug :lol:

Nice! It's already beautiful though.

Holy macrel. I've never seen anything like that bug. Fiber optics indeed! Great shots as always.

OMG! That fiber optic bug is sweet!

shootermcgavin · Oct 13, 2011

Very cool, how do you get the black background?

NateS · Oct 13, 2011

Amazing Images as always Kurt. I am still jealous of the DOF you guys get with the shorter focal length macros.

Thank you, StringThing, kyrontf, Bitter Jeweler, shootermcgavin, Nate.

shootermcgavin - when shooting full flash and there's no immediate BG, it will be black.

Nate - in macro, the DOF is dependent only on the magnification and f number.

Thank you Fleacz, TCD Photography, mishele, DBJ.

Fleacz - in full flash photography, typically around 1/200, F11, ISO100, flash, if there's nothing (no background) behind the subject, the BG will be black.
